Rebels runnin’ for history

Flintridge Prep’s boys’ cross-country team is running for history today at the Prep League finals at Pierce College.

The boys’ team has won a mind-spinning 17 consecutive Prep League titles, but finds that streak in major jeopardy as it has finished second to archrival Pasadena Poly in each of the league’s previous two meets.

However, it’s currently running at its best this season on the heels of a third-place finish in last week’s Mount San Antonio College Invitational. The Rebels finished in front of Poly in the race, moving them into the No. 2 spot in the CIF Southern Section Division V rankings. But the division isn’t the priority right now, the league is.

The boys’ race is scheduled for 9:10 a.m. on Saturday, with the girls’ final to start at 9:35 p.m.
